Mini Tagged Edge Blanket

Instructions:  http://what-rachel-made-today.blogspot.com/2010/06/ribbon-tag-mini-blanket-tutorial.html

This was an easier first sewing project since it was a small, manageable size. However, pining the delicate ribbon and keeping it straight while sewing was a little tricky! It wasn't perfect, but it doesn't really matter, as long as the ribbon is sewn correctly and doesn't pull out! Cost me about $14, but I have TONS of ribbon/fabric left over for other projects :) Mine is 18" x 18" I believe...can't remember now that I finished it lol.

This was my first sewing machine project! My sewing wasn't exactly "straight," but you can't tell at all. This cost about $10 to make. I could have bought cheaper fabric, but I liked these ones. I made mine about 30" x 40".
